Birthers

You have to admire the Obama camp on this one. It's been brilliantly played.

Obama isn't eligible to be president. It's a simple fact. His father was a British citizen, that makes him ineligible. His mother got Indonesian citizenship for him. That makes him ineligible. Technicalities, yes, but there nonetheless.

Granted, since they are technicalities, Obama could probably have done some sort of work around, but that would have cost time, money, and votes. So what happens.........

The fundamentalist right wing claims Obama is born in Kenya, Obama obfuscates to ridiculous levels, the "Birthers", taking the bait, pursue to ridiculous levels. So now, no one can point to the actual facts of Obama's ineligibility without the cry of "Birther", which renders everything they say null and void.

You have to ask, is the fundamentalist right actively working for the DNC or are they just that stupid?
